#12In 2025 the word "mean" no longer means "average", it apparently means "median". Amazing!

#13If I were a time-traveler from 2025 to 2013, and things were roughly as described, you can bet I would go straight to Reddit and tell, in lurid detail, the tale of this digital dystopia. Not because I expect it to change the outcome. Time travel doesn't work like that. No, I would do it because I would need to do it -- because in a sense, I had already done it. I would, in all likelihood, already be aware of having d…
These sort of arguments seem to solidify the notion that time-travel is not possible in the current setup of the universe.
Time traveling backwards is not possible. Time Traveling forward happens the faster you move. Satellites have to compensate for the fact that time is different the faster you go.

If I suddenly dropped you in Poland on June 11, 1371, how would you go about convincing a reasonably well-informed person that you're from the future?

Time-travel is absolutely possible, as long as it is always in the forward direction and at a (relatively) constant pace.

Somebody in the comments asked about the hashes of tomorrow. OP didn't deliver.

#17he said 10,000 in 2017 and it is!

#18Governments can do an awful lot of things to collect taxes. For example a comment [1] to a similar story [2] suggests a benign one, that they "ask you to surrender the public keys that you are getting paid through". How to know there are no undisclosed keys? Much like they get people with untaxed money now: they spend more than they should.
Is there anything wrong with this argument?

#19Will bitcoin worths $100.000 on 2019? I mean, seriously.
That's $100,000 for anybody who's not insane. Seriously, why use the "decimal point" as a digit separator? You might as well start using Roman numbers too!

I wouldn't talk to anyone: they'd die of several diseases from my breath pretty quickly if I understand the epidemiology of it. I wouldn't want to kill people, or get labelled a plague carrier!
